914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 914-6 GT group buy oil lines

Posted by: mb911 Dec 29 2017, 02:12 PM

So thanks to Glenn I was able to have his factory GT lines scanned and there is a company in California making them for me.. We are still hashing out materials as they feel the current Brass on the market is not good quality.. Looking like stainless then yellow zinc plated will be what we go with. We are having 50 sets made and 4 sets spoken for already..

They will be bending next week and start shipping the following.

Price needs to be finalized based off of the material we end with but will be less then 650 a set and probably less then that.

So how many would be interested?

That's a terrific price for this item. I am sure a lot of people will jump on this as a perfect solution for running front oil coolers.

Thanks .. I am excited that there will be an option.

I am interested so please count me in for 1.

Just to clarify: Will these be made with metric or AN terminations?

Shipping within California is fine. Just curious what are options are, since it will be a long oversized box.

Interestingly it cost me 95 to ship the originals to them and I made a wood crate.. This was through ups.

We are talking about boxes with foam supports throughout the box..

To my knowledge no company makes anything that replicates the factory GT setup.. All the kits I am aware of are just their own version.. Mine are to replicate factory in fit and function.

The front Patrick cooler setup would be a good match but the connections would be different.. I will be making a turn key setup as the next step.

Ben - since you are doing the GT lines, will you also do the GT console and pressure relief valve. They are hard to track down and rather pricey.

For my car I will do a hybrid so to speak with adaptation of a 911 t stat.. Its hard to say at this point how much interest beyond the hard GT lines there will be.????

I sold a similar/same setup from a 911 “69S. Sold for $2k. I believe Porsche used it on a lot of there race cars.

Pipe lengths / dimension too?

With Ben's hard lines and all the rest of the parts I've been collecting over 5odd years, I've nearly most the whole system together, including a rake load of good used alloy fittings to build as many of the flexibles as I can to match factory originals. That said I'm still missing some fittings. Decent straights and the smaller 45 / 90 degree are really hard to find

Waiting to see if Ben is going to make up the T pipe as well

Thanks to Ben and Glenn for making this happen

Researching the front GT cooler setups.. Anyone have some good pictures of how the factory did it? I have a pretty good understanding of it but looking for some good pictures to get orientation for the front cooler kit.

Looking to buy two of these cooler kits, front to back, like we spoke about on the phone. Will you be making the kit for use with all the 911S parts, or another method. I hoped to use a far less expensive thermostat option if possible, thanks.

Posted by: mb911 Jan 24 2018, 07:56 PM

We have an exact copy.. The fittings need to be put on the ends with silver solder after cutting to length.. I will be reaching out to everyone that has shown interest to get a set or two. Please feel free to call ,e-mail, pm me if you dont hear from me.. Below is the cooler that I will be building the soft lines for..

Posted by: davehg Jan 24 2018, 09:35 PM

Ben, any sense on the cost of the cooler?

Eagerly awaiting the oil lines! My 2.7L has been shipped out for machining so we get a breather to focus on the oil lines, motor mounts, and engine tins, and try to figure out a cost effective twin plug ignition....

Thinking oil cooler and soft lines are gonna be. 800-1000 or so.. I am shooting for a turn key complete set up for 2200 that would be all oil lines from the engine to cooler and cooler.

All interested parties should have been PM'd at this point about the group buy. I will run the group buy through the 2nd and then it will be regular priced at that point.

I replied to the original "GB oil lines" thread and didn't know that it was going to go this far. Please count me in for this package as I'm going to need it all. Thanks. I've been following this and would like to see it thru as things progress to t-stat and shrouds etc...Thanks for doing this.

Posted by: Steve Jan 26 2018, 12:56 PM

Maybe you should start a running list of who was interested and who paid that everyone can check against.

Posted by: davehg Jan 26 2018, 01:49 PM

Two questions I had:

It looks like using the cast oil lines will mean that part of the oil line will run through the cabin (on the lower left of pedal board) and into the firewall then into the "frunk" as is http://www.pbase.com/9146gt/image/134487215 rather than running up through the fenderwell and into the "frunk". Is that right? Or did I get that backward? And brackets to attach to rocker included?

Dave,

I am doing the GT hardlines just as the factory did.. The only difference is they are made of stainless steel which can withstand much more abuse then brass..

I will make brackets as well but one step at a time.. This was a hugely expensive undertaking so have to recoup along the way..

As Ben says, install is exactly as per factory and period correct. Hardlines enter through the inner rocker then front soft lines run inside round the wheel well and through to the frunk in the corner

This is a killer deal for the hardlines, I came close to acquiring a brass set and they were kicking on to 2.5x Bens price and that was years back when I started to collect parts. Brackets are cheap and come up on eBay all the time / not expensive new. Just regular 911 oil line brackets that go on the rocker

Posted by: mb911 Jan 27 2018, 07:47 AM

One more addtion to this deal is that if anyone wants a second set I will sell you that set for 450 but they must ship together.. This allows for me to hit projected volume and maintain pricing after the group buy is done..

Here you go for a nice finished product..

Posted by: mb911 Feb 7 2018, 10:18 AM

Wow suprised no comments.. I think they look awesome..

Posted by: jd74914 Feb 7 2018, 10:34 AM

They really do look nice, especially with the silver soldered metric ends.

Until you've had a part made, it's hard to understand the time and work that goes into getting it to this point. It's not like you can order one from column A and 2 from column B. Getting it done to exact original specs is harder still.

Posted by: Norskpole Feb 7 2018, 10:51 AM

Sweet! Can't wait to get my set.

I agree. The company I had build them said the silver solder was super expensive..

Posted by: jd74914 Feb 7 2018, 11:31 AM

I've heard that from some industrial plumbers here too (silver solder on medium pressure gas lines). Any reason they didn't braze or TIG them? Just curious.

Posted by: mepstein Feb 7 2018, 11:36 AM

In the bicycle world, silver solder is used on high end tube sets because the low temperature wont change the hardness of the metal. I don't know if its the same for this application.

They felt it met FAA specs and would work perfect for this application.. Also less leak possibility..

Very common in avaition oil lines/fuel lines where AN fittings are not used.. Plus a good solder joint is less likely to leak unlike Tig which can have small pin holes.

It took all of your support and for me to find someone able amd willing to take the project on.. I was lucky to have had done business with this business for 15 years or so and he said he was willing to take it on as he has all the cohline fittings as well for the soft lines..

I guess it comes down to whom you know..

Awesome.. Remember those are silver soldered ends so when tightening use a wrench to support the fitting.

Steve, Bates, John N yours shipped today..

I will also send invoices to all of you for your records. Also note that you will notice on the package whom I partnered with to build these. We will be the only 2 company s to buy from . They will not be available in any catalogs.. My new site will have them listed as well as we develop it. Www.914-6werkshop.com

Posted by: mepstein Feb 8 2018, 03:52 PM

It's too bad that 914's can't pull off the same look as 911's without rocker panels. Those hard lines are almost too nice to cover up.

My 86 911 had them underneath. Other wise yes they are very nice looking but I’d like mine to be rather stealth or un noticed!

Who’s going to be the first to install them? I am waiting til the next oil change, which will be this summer.

Posted by: mb911 Feb 19 2018, 05:10 PM

Just an fyi they are still working on finishing the fitting installs. Unfortunately I am unable to control the timeframes. I am told more sets will go this week..

I appreciate everyones patience..

Oh and make sure you clean the "crap" out of these before putting into service..

Does anyone know where to source this part:

Or maybe another part for Ben to add to his manufactory?

Yes, another piece for Ben to make.

Posted by: mb911 Mar 5 2018, 07:49 PM

I could definitely make that but again need a sample.. I also know it would not be cheap..

So who has a sample?

I got mine on Friday, unfortunately I haven't even had time to open the box. I guess it will be something to look forward to tonight.

Still have to procure the rest of the parts.
